Excellent system
Used it for the first time over the long weekend. It is simply great, having a hot shower after a hard day in the dust and the ability to wash your dishes in hot water can never be understated.
Used the system to shower and wash up after meals. So easy and convenient.

A great camp product for people and animals.
We purchased from Bunnings. Congrats on staff member. He knew his stuff. Awesome to connect. Very quick n easy. I have washed the sausage dogs so far and they love it. We are yet to test it in the winter camping. I think it will be perfect. Just need to remember that it is an outdoor shower, so don’t expect your normal household shower capabilities.

Great unit recommend it to anyone
Great unit recommend it to anyone
The Joolca hot water system is great easy to set up and the controls for the water flow and the heat settings are a breeze to use, the only down side is if there is a slight breeze it puts the flame out which is a a real crap when you are half way through having a shower, apart from that it is a terrific unit and I would recommend it to anyone.

Finally!!!
Finally got one!!!
Amazing product. So happy with it.
The unit provides consistent hot water and starts automatically whenever the tap is turned on. I chose to mount my unit on a revivalist trolly and strap a bbq gas bottle underneath just to make it that bit easier to move around.
I now have hot water on demand, anywhere I go.
Definitely recommend this product to anyone requiring hot water in a camping or off-grid situation.
Absolutely love it!!!

Easy to use
Simple to set up and get going. Produced plenty of hot water. Tried it 1st in winter with the input water pretty cold so struggled to get it quite hot enough, but the instructions and help were all very clear. Great product, and would be even better if they could solve that issue. Very entertaining email reply as well.

HOT water quick and easy!
For such a low price I was very impressed. The build quality seems excellent. We have a place that is prone to power cuts etc and this product is as important as a generator to me. I am going to build an outside shower and REALLY impress the neighbours! The dogs love the heated washes too.

HOTTAP on a Half Lap : Did a fantastic job !
We have just completed a three month half lap of Australia and have a Joolca Hottap mounted on the A Frame of a Jayco Swan Outback. The unit is protected with a standard Joolca cover. The main use of the Hottap was for washing the dishes however we did use the shower when no facilities were available at a National Park. Overall the Hottap performed very well and is also robust, we were driving mainly on bitumen but did many kilometres on gravel corrugated roads and the Hottap was not affected.
Initially we did have some problems with ignition ...Read more

Fabulous
Absolutely fantastic, great to come back to camp and have hot shower, kept up to all six of us, beats boiling the pot for showers. Wouldn’t go without it. Not to mention the joolca shower is perfect. Don’t forget to keep the filters clean at all times, this creates to hot shower being not enough water flow, we had this happen on Fraser, do to minute particles in filter, after cleaning back to being perfect. Thanks Joolca. Made for a great fishing holiday. Easy to assemble shower and hot water.

Disappointed!!!
Brought it because of hearing good reviews and seeing them everywhere.. to be honest it’s a price of junk.. set it up properly got 2 good showers the first night.. second night wouldn’t go above 30 degrees.. got a full gas bottle and clean water tank.. pumps already stopped working.. it’s 3 days old.. upset is an understatement compared to the wife’s thoughts!!

Fantastic Product
Unreal product, the team at Joolca put so much effort into their customer service, makes it a real experience to deal with them.
It is not often you come across a business so compassionate about their product and customers.
Congratulations on all the effort you put in and to make this purchase easy and fun. The Hottap we brought is really great.
Thanks Joolca. Arthur and Shirley

WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK
This is a complete piece of junk. I have used a 10000L gravity feed tank, buckets of water and even connected to mains water.
This thing keeps getting to hot or does not have enough pressure. It turns off completely after a minute or two even when set at the lowest or any heat setting and all different water pressures.
I HAVE rung on numerous occasions and even purchased the upgraded pump as recommend to me.
I now stand at the joolca and regulate the temperature and flow so that it does not go cold or switch off when my wife and son use it.
What a WASTE of money.
Save up and buy something decent.

Hi there,
I'm sorry to see that you're disappointed with the HOTTAP. It sounds like the main issue you're having is that the water is getting too hot (no matter if the heat setting is on high or low) and as a result the HOTTAP is turning itself off.... Read more
If I've got the above right, then everything does sound about right. The HOTTAP is fully certified and meets the Australian regulations for portable gas hot water heaters. One of those regulations is that it must turn off at 50C to prevent scalding or burns. There's nothing we can do to change this safety feature and all I can recommend is putting the heat setting on low and the water flow on high. With that said, I am almost certain you would have already tried doing that and you're still not happy. So clearly, something still isn't quite right and I want to fix that for you. We have sold 10,000's of these and we have overall received very good feedback from our customers. From time to time something like this does occur but it is almost always something to do with the way it has been set up or used in that particular situation. I would love to be given the opportunity to work with you on this. We will find a way to fix whatever is happening and turn you into one of our happy customers. I will send you a private message in a few minutes requesting some contact details and we'll be in contact as soon as we hear back. I can guarantee we'll make sure you're satisfied with the outcome, so please reply when you have a minute. Best regards, ChrisJoolcaJoolca

Hottap outing
Got the outback version and super happy. Why would I waste money on cheaper versions that are unreliable and poorly rated. People complain about this price but look at the ratings and reliability and hands down a well made product. Camped the weekend down to 1 overnight and the shower was pumping out 46 degrees and turned down a little as well. No complaints with product. Just the wind blows out the flame if too windy. And easy to connect and disconnect as required. Stocked.

You will not regret purchasing this product.
Very easy to use, gives wonderful hot showers in the bush and makes winter camping even better. You will not regret purchasing this product.
Everyone who camped with us recently used it and all said how easy it was. They were even talking about buying their own unit.
The system is so easy to set the water temperature and it holds the temperature constant.

Excellent!! A+++
The Joolca hot water system is amazing, so happy with it, nice hot showers! At our little weekender it's set up temporarily on a stand and because it works so perfectly, it will eventually be installed in a permanent bathroom at our weekender. Definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

Joolca Takes camping to a whole new level
I Recently purchased the Hottap unit to compliment my camping kit. Great product with nice features. Heats up quickly but never going to scold you. The water temp could get a little hotter on those frosty days. But seem to be a great unit over all. Friendly and attentive Australian company.

Best gas hot water system we have used
The hot tap is perfect for what we wanted it for. Stead flow of water but can only get it to 40c but that is fine for us as we bought it to wash our dogs. Have had other brands in the past but this is by far the best.
